Unified Staff Groups?

[Thomasss]

So, for those with promotion forums of other forums that have "service" team members, has the thought of combining all the service team members under one group and having them do both packages, reviews, or whatever services you have, ever come to mind?

Would that be something you would try?

What I've done in the past is make two staff member groups; Management and Staff Members. All moderators and service teams members went in the Staff Members group. They had a title telling everyone what they were, it kept the forum less cluttered.

This is an interesting idea. When I had a promotion forum I just kept everyone separate. There was a long list of permissions and different user styling that had to be applied to each group. While I could have just combined them all and given separate ranks to each member, I feel that would have been just as time consuming as doing what I was doing.

I think a service-oriented forum such as a promotion forum needs separation in teams, just for clarity and ease of control by the admins.

That would actually be quite a nice idea but I think some members may just find it difficult to do both packages and reviews.

This is a very interesting idea. Honestly, I've never thought about doing something like this. I honestly wonder how well it would work on a promotion forum. People despise having to complete actual packages so I could see myself losing a lot of my team. Hmm?
